--- Featuring Click the Name to access the Segment below 1. Commentary by Elaine B. Holtz, Host of Women's Spaces 2. Guest Jodie Evans Co-Founder of Code Pink, Author of Local Peace Economy ---- ---- 1. Commentary by Elaine B. Holtz: I have a special guest for this morning. Jodie Evans, co-founder, and board member of CODEPINK, has been a peace, environmental, women's rights, and social justice activist for fifty years. Jodie will be talking about her recent book, The Local Peace Economy, which will cover local peace economy strategies. She will also share her experiences and insights about her visits to Gaza in Palestine.
CODEPINK is a feminist
grassroots organization
working to end U.S. warfare
and imperialism, support
peace and human rights
initiatives, and redirect
resources into healthcare,
education, green jobs, and
other life-affirming*
programs. Join us!
Life-affirming programs are investments in social programs that uplift human dignity instead of tearing it down. We believe universal health care must include the right to an abortion, access to education must not be determined by income bracket, and housing is a human right.

2. Our Guest, Jodie Evans, recounts her long history of peace activism, starting in the 1960s, including protests against wars like the 1991 Iraq War. She was driven by disbelief at the U.S. invasion, justified by false claims of weapons of mass destruction. Jodie connects U.S. foreign wars to domestic violence, arguing that both harm marginalized communities, costing human lives and societal well-being. She reflects on her protests, like a banner drop at the White House during the Iraq War, alongside activists Dianne Wilson and Starhawk, to challenge the media's neglect of peaceful protests and the system’s silencing tactics. Jodie emphasizes the vital role of women in activism, noting that solidarity fosters courage. She highlights Code Pink, the anti-war organization she co-founded, which offers women resources, solidarity, and creative means of protesting militarization. A significant focus of Code Pink is opposing Israeli occupation in Palestine, with Jodie recounting her personal experiences visiting Gaza and witnessing destruction, describing the situation as apartheid and genocide. Shifting to the broader picture, Jodie discusses the importance of moving away from the destructive "war economy" driven by profit, technology, and propaganda. Instead, she advocates for building a "peace economy" rooted in ancient and indigenous traditions of giving, sharing, and community care. This shift requires individual and collective efforts to reject the war economy and foster relationships that nourish life. Jodie highlights her success in moving nearly $2 billion into peace economy projects, mostly led by Black and Indigenous communities, and emphasizes that building local peace economies is essential for tackling global challenges like inequality, climate change, and AI, which she calls "patriarchy on steroids." About our Guest: Jodie Evans, co-founder of CODEPINK and 826LA, is a seasoned activist with a focus on peace, environmental, and social justice. Over fifty years, she has championed peaceful conflict resolution and local peace economies through war divestment. Evans has served on boards including the Rainforest Action Network and the Institute of Policy Studies and is a Lifetime Director at the Hereditary Disease Foundation. A regenerative farmer, mother, and grandmother, she co-edited influential books such as “Twilight of Empire” and “Stop the Next War Now.” Evans also supports local agriculture, contributes to the World Festival of Sacred Music.

Herstory Events: September 9, 1850 - California Admission Day
California Admission Day is
observed on September 9 each
year. It commemorates the
day California was admitted
into the Union as the 31st
state in 1850 after it was
ceded to the United States
by Mexico in 1848.
California became one of the
few states to become a state
without first being an
organized territory.
California Admission Day is
not a federal holiday.
Rather, it’s a local
observance in the state,
which implies that
businesses, schools, and
government offices remain
open. In times gone by it
was celebrated with great
pomp and ceremony with
parades and pageantry.
Though low-key now, the day
still marks an important
part of Californian history.
1850.
